  • While I don’t disagree that right wing assholes have been gleefully ruining everything for pretty much my entire adult life, the billionaires are the puppet-masters orchestrating the entire show, and no matter which side wins, they always come out on top. That’s by design. We can’t fight a class war when we’re at each other’s throats constantly and too distracted fighting an ideological culture war that has been raging for decades.

    Anybody who is gung-ho about this red team or blue team shit is unknowingly a mercenary footsoldier in the billionaire class war against the poor. We need to start caring less about whether our ninety-nine-percenter neighbor is flying a Trump flag or a Biden flag and start caring more about the point-oh-one percent of fat cats picking our pockets and getting away with it.




  • Lemmy is basically a full replacement. The only time I find myself going back is if I’m looking for information on a niche or obscure topic and reddit seems to have a lot of those communities while Lemmy doesn’t (yet).

    I also get Google search results from Reddit too, but the mass scrubbing of data has turned any thread older than a year or so into a mass grave of deleted comments and sometimes context is missing which is sad but I also hope that people will learn from this and Google will start actually getting their search engine algorithms out of social media for that reason.
